So my wife and I just started watching "24" on Netflix (I know, we're a TAD behind the times ). Of course, I noticed Jack Bauer's black sub-like watch and had to look it up on Jim's site. It was ID'd on the site as a fake Rolex, so I'm curious what gave it away as a fake. I just finished watching an episode that gave an extremely good (for a TV show) close-up of the watch, and while it was clearly marked "Rolex" I wonder how someone could tell it's fake from such a quick and low-quality image like that.

Thanks guys!

Dan
